A Blank Slate

Howzit! In a world where most travel is still sold backwards, Travel Sommelier starts with you: a blank slate defined by your pace, your interests, and your version of what makes a trip special. 

 

We pride ourselves on getting to know you and what drives you, so that we may give you inspiration and curate a perfectly tailored journey - stripping away canned luxury templates and copy-and-paste itineraries to build something that reflects how you actually want to move through the world.

 

We obsess over the details that make it feel personal rather than prescribed. We take your measurements with precision - how you like to move, dine, explore, unwind…and build from there. Sometimes it begins with a moment rather than a destination: a Grand Prix circuit, a child studying abroad, a favorite performer on tour.

 

In those cases, the event or the occasion becomes the anchor while we elevate everything around it - opening doors, layering in experiences, access, and rhythm.

 

The best trips never feel designed at all, they feel inevitable, as if they could only ever belong to you…

 

Darren is just back from Ireland, on the ground uncovering what is new and what rarely makes it into itineraries - unlocking experiences with real character and soul through trusted local relationships. Discover your Ireland, designed around you.

 

One evening might begin with impossibly fresh oysters and aged Irish whiskey, before sliding into a village “lock-in" where the pub closes, the doors lock, and the night simply carries on…pints flow, live music takes over, and somewhere along the way you learn to pour the perfect Guinness. 

 

Beyond the pubs, Cork unfolds - an underrated culinary capital and home to over 60% of Ireland’s artisanal producers. The English Market, extraordinary seafood, and true farm-to-table culture sit at its core.

 

As you peel back layers, another Ireland emerges - private tailoring sessions, intimate musical encounters, and private estates. Golf can absolutely be part of it - but it is only one thread. Think country pursuits in an INEOS Grenadier, hurling with locals, Atlantic cold plunges, and walks with Irish wolfhounds. The more you know where to look, the more the country reveals itself.

 

Built for Generations

Travel Somm Hailey Landers recently traveled Nicaragua’s Emerald Coast with 15 family members spanning three generations - grandparents, siblings, cousins, and a whole crew of grandkids.

 

A well-designed multi-gen trip is never just about getting everyone to the same place. It is about balancing personalities, downtime, logistics, dining preferences, and adventure appetites. Too often, one family member ends up carrying the entire vacation - coordinating schedules, managing expectations, solving problems, and absorbing the stress when things go sideways. Sound familiar? 

 

That is where Travel Sommelier comes in. We anticipate what others miss, guide you toward what you would never find online, stay on call when things shift, and create the rare luxury that matters most on a family trip…allowing everyone to fully relax. 

 

We design for both togetherness and independence - surf at sunrise for some, slow coffee for others, beach games for kids, long lunches for grandparents, and evenings that become the stories you keep. And we know where this works best…

 

Across Latin America, Europe, and Africa, our team is tuned into the standout private villas built for multi-generational travel - homes with space, accessibility, and private chefs who can cater to every palate. Different ages, different interests, one seamless journey for everyone.

Moments Worth Traveling For

The most valuable things we bring home are rarely things at all. They are lived experiences - and the world's great cultural moments are often money better spent than anything material.

 

Travel Sommelier turns major sporting fixtures into fully realized journeys…pairing world-class events with seamless logistics, insider access, and thoughtful design so you experience them at their very best.
